Mister ED meets Mister T

(and other Euphemisms for Health)

Mister ED is a humorous song by Doxter S.  The title is a euphemism referring to a common men’s health issue. Mister T is tangentially referring to Low T, another similar problem. I wrote Mister ED while working with Hexagon writing music in 2014.  They had already done a skit that year called “Reptile Dysfunction”. It was funny, but no music. I think the producer was getting self-conscious so my song was not selected. No sense of humor.

Mister ED and Mister T are both popularized by the Pharmaceutical Industry. They make BIG MONEY selling little pills. The nurse depicted on the cover is holding something more like a Horse Pill. This brings me back to the original Mister Ed of TV fame. I assume he was a stallion, not a gelding. He was surprisingly clever, and he helped Wilbur with his love life.  Backstage he was known to throw outrageous cast parties.

Low T is the opposite of Mister T.  Mister T is an actor and former professional wrestler. He played B. A. Baracus in The A-TEAM.  (I watched that show every week.) I pitied the fool who underestimated his capabilities. He eventually settled down.  Mr. & Mrs. T make an excellent Bloody Mary Mix.  Low T may be a made up condition. The treatment is expensive. Not that ED treatments are cheap. They have to pay for all those commercials. What’s with those bathtubs?

Mister ED is a humorous song. The stye is jazzy, bluesy, snappy, happy. The lyrics are filled with innuendo and the chorus is hilarious. Humor is, for me, an unavoidable tendency when writing songs. I think music should generate an emotion. The saying goes – laughter is the best medicine. Doxter S is a doctor, after all.
